A pair of recument goats of similar type but marked AP for Anthonij Pennis of the Two Little Ships Factory are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (inv. no. 60.215.1,2).
The Ewer Factory (De Lampetkan) operated in Delft between 1609 and 1811. The mark LPK was used from the 1749s until the end of the factory, also LPKan. The animal figures probably date from about 1760 to 1785.
